Terms of Service.
Also known as our Terms & Conditions — and the End-User License Agreement (EULA) for the App.
Last updated / Effective date: 1 July 2026
Applies to: the SoloDock iOS application (“App”) and the website at https://solodock.framer.website (the “Site”), together the “Service”.
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) — the same document SoloDock has previously referred to as its Terms & Conditions; the two names are used interchangeably and refer to one single agreement — are a binding agreement between you (“you”, “your”) and Archit Suryawanshi, a sole proprietor based in India (“SoloDock”, “we”, “us”, “our”). They also serve as the End-User License Agreement (“EULA”) for the App. Please read them carefully — especially Sections 14–16 (disclaimers, liability and indemnity) and Section 18 (governing law and disputes).
By downloading, installing, accessing, or using the Service, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy (published at https://solodock.me/privacy). If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
This is a good-faith, industry-standard template, not legal advice. Because the Service is offered worldwide, have a qualified lawyer review it for your key markets (in particular consumer-protection, EULA and liability rules) before publishing.
1. The Service in brief
SoloDock is a local-first, iPhone-only invoicing-and-jobs tool for one-person businesses. It lets you log jobs, build quotes and invoices from a reusable price list, generate branded PDFs, record payments, chase overdue invoices, and keep a simple money overview. It is not accounting, bookkeeping, payroll, tax-filing, banking, payment-processing, or legal software, and must not be relied upon as such (see Sections 9–11).
Key product facts that form part of this agreement:
Your data is stored on your device; there is no account and no SoloDock server holding your records.
SoloDock is non-custodial: you are paid through your own payment provider; we never hold, process, or move your money (Section 8).
Subscriptions are sold and billed by Apple through the App Store (Section 5).
2. Eligibility and capacity
The Service has no minimum age and is intended for anyone operating a business. However, to enter into a binding contract you must have legal capacity. If you are a minor or otherwise lack capacity under the law of your country, you may use the Service only with the consent and supervision of a parent or legal guardian, who agrees to these Terms on your behalf and is responsible for your use and for any charges. By using the Service you confirm that you meet these requirements, that the information you provide is accurate, and that your use will comply with all laws that apply to you.
3. Licence
Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable licence to install and use one copy of the App on Apple-branded devices that you own or control, and to use the Site, for your own business purposes. This licence is also subject to the Apple Media Services / App Store Terms and the Usage Rules in them. We and our licensors retain all rights not expressly granted.
You must not, except to the extent the law forbids us restricting you: copy, modify, translate, or create derivative works of the App; reverse-engineer, decompile, or disassemble it; remove proprietary notices; rent, lease, lend, sell, redistribute, or sublicense it; circumvent security or licensing; use it to build a competing product; or use it unlawfully or in a way that harms the Service or others.
4. App Store / Apple terms (incorporated EULA minimum terms)
This Section applies because you obtained the App through Apple’s App Store, and it forms part of the EULA. To the extent of any conflict, this Section prevails for App Store users.
This agreement is between you and us only — not Apple. Apple is not responsible for the App or its content.
Scope of licence. The licence in Section 3 is non-transferable and limited to use on Apple-branded products you own/control, as permitted by the App Store Usage Rules, including sharing via Apple’s Family Sharing where enabled.
Maintenance and support. We — not Apple — are solely responsible for any maintenance and support for the App. Apple has no obligation to provide any support.
Warranty. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple gives no warranty for the App. If the App fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple may refund the purchase price (if any); to the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation, and any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses attributable to a warranty failure are our responsibility.
Product claims. We — not Apple — are responsible for addressing any claims by you or a third party relating to the App or your use of it, including (a) product-liability claims; (b) any claim that the App fails to conform to a legal or regulatory requirement; and (c) claims under consumer-protection, privacy, or similar laws.
Intellectual property. If a third party claims the App infringes its intellectual-property rights, we — not Apple — are responsible for the investigation, defence, settlement, and discharge of that claim.
Legal compliance. You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated as “terrorist-supporting,” and that you are not on any U.S. or applicable government prohibited/restricted-party list.
Developer contact. Questions, complaints, or claims about the App should be directed to architpsuryawanshi@gmail.com.
Third-party beneficiary. Apple and Apple’s subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms, and upon your acceptance Apple has the right (and is deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary.
5. Subscriptions, free trial, free tier, billing and refunds
Plans. SoloDock is offered as an auto-renewing subscription. Current pricing is £1.99 / week, £3.99 / month, and £39.99 / year (or the equivalent in your local currency as shown by the App Store), typically with a 3-day free trial for new subscribers. Prices, trials, and plans may change; the App Store always shows the current price before you buy.
Billing by Apple. All purchases are made through the Apple App Store, which is the merchant of record. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase.
Auto-renewal. Your subscription renews automatically at the then-current price for the same period unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Your Apple ID is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the period ends.
Free trial. If a free trial is offered, any unused portion is forfeited when you purchase a subscription, where the App Store applies such a rule. If you do not cancel before the trial ends, it converts to a paid subscription.
Managing and cancelling. You manage or cancel a subscription in Settings ▸ [your Apple ID] ▸ Subscriptions on your device. Cancelling stops the next renewal; you keep access until the end of the paid period.
Refunds. Because Apple is the seller, refunds are handled by Apple under Apple’s terms; we generally cannot grant refunds for App Store purchases. This does not affect any non-waivable statutory rights you have under the consumer law of your country.
Free tier and lapse (important). SoloDock offers a free tier that allows a limited number of invoices (currently 3) so you can try the core value before subscribing. If a paid subscription lapses or expires, the App drops to read-only: you keep full access to view, share, and export every record you created, and you are never locked out of your own data — you simply cannot create new records until you resubscribe. This read-only-on-lapse commitment is part of these Terms.
6. Our promises about features, and our right to change the Service
We aim to keep the Service focused and stable. In particular, we will not take a feature that is included for your subscription tier and move it behind a separate, higher-priced tier — the included feature set is meant to stay included.
This does not prevent us, acting reasonably, from updating, improving, adding, modifying, or discontinuing parts of the Service, or the whole Service, where necessary for legal, regulatory, security, technical, or operational reasons, or to reflect changes in third-party platforms (e.g. Apple or iOS). If we discontinue the App entirely, we will give reasonable advance notice where practicable, and — because your data lives on your device — you will still be able to export and keep it.
“Coming soon” / beta features. Some capabilities may be described as “coming soon,” “beta,” or similar (for example, deeper payment-provider integration). These are provided “as available,” with no commitment as to timing, availability, or final form, and may change or never ship. What works today (such as pasting your own payment link, manual mark-as-paid, and overdue chasing) is what you should rely on.
7. Your responsibilities and acceptable use
You are responsible for your use of the Service. You agree that you will:
provide accurate information and keep your own records and backups (the App offers free CSV/PDF export and a portable JSON backup — use them; see Section 13);
ensure your invoices, quotes, tax treatment, and business conduct comply with the laws that apply to you (including mandatory invoice content, VAT/GST/sales-tax/CIS rules, and record-keeping in your jurisdiction) — see Sections 9–11;
handle your clients’ personal data lawfully; as between you and us, you are the controller of that data (see Section 12);
not upload, store, or send through features of the Service any content that is unlawful, infringing, defamatory, or otherwise improper, including in job photos;
not use the Service to defraud anyone, to issue false invoices, or for money-laundering or any unlawful purpose;
comply with export-control and sanctions laws; and
not interfere with, attack, or attempt to gain unauthorised access to the Service or any third-party systems it touches.
We may suspend or terminate your access (or pursue other remedies) if you materially breach these Terms or use the Service unlawfully.
8. Payments are non-custodial — we never hold your money
SoloDock is not a payment processor, money-services business, escrow, or financial institution, and it never holds, receives, or transmits your funds. Any “Pay now” link on an invoice points to your own payment arrangement (for example your Stripe, PayPal, or Wise link). When your client pays:
the money flows directly between your client and your payment provider, on your provider’s terms and schedule;
we are not a party to that transaction and have no ability to access, hold, freeze, delay, refund, or reverse it; and
any dispute, chargeback, fee, tax, or compliance obligation arising from a payment is between you, your client, and your provider.
Marking an invoice “paid” in the App is a record-keeping action by you; it does not move money and is not confirmation by us that funds were received.
9. Not financial, tax, accounting or legal advice
The Service, including any “set-aside-for-tax” estimate, VAT/GST/sales-tax/CIS helpers, totals, and reports, is a convenience tool that produces estimates and summaries, not professional advice. Tax rates, thresholds, and rules vary and change, and the App’s figures may be approximate or out of date. You are solely responsible for the correctness of your invoices and tax affairs and should consult a qualified accountant, tax adviser, or lawyer. We are not liable for decisions you make based on the Service.
10. Currency conversion is indicative only
Multi-currency figures use European Central Bank reference rates (via a third-party feed) refreshed about once a day and labelled “today’s rate.” They are indicative only, are not dealing, settlement, or bank rates, and must not be used for trading or for determining the actual amount payable in a transaction. No conversion rate is stored per document, so historical views may re-calculate at current rates. Always rely on the native currency amount and your payment provider’s actual figures.
11. Documents you create
You are responsible for the content, accuracy, and legality of the invoices, quotes, PDFs, and messages you create and send, and for ensuring they meet any mandatory requirements (such as required invoice fields, tax registration numbers, or wording) in your and your client’s jurisdictions. The App provides templates and calculations; it does not guarantee legal compliance for your specific situation.
12. Your clients’ data — you are the controller
When you store information about your clients in the App, that data stays on your device and we never receive it. As between you and us, you are the independent data controller/fiduciary of your clients’ personal data and are responsible for complying with the privacy and data-protection laws that apply to you (including providing any required notices to your clients and honouring their rights). SoloDock is not a processor of that data. You agree to indemnify us (Section 16) for claims arising from your handling of your clients’ data.
13. Data, backups, and loss
The Service is local-first: your data lives on your device. You are responsible for keeping backups. The App provides free export (CSV/PDF) and a portable JSON backup, and supports optional iCloud/device backup through Apple — please use them. We are not responsible for any loss, corruption, or unavailability of your on-device data, including from device loss, theft, damage, reset, OS issues, failure to back up, or uninstalling the App. The App includes reasonable resilience measures but does not guarantee against data loss.
14. Disclaimers of warranty
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Service is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, title, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, compatible with every device or iOS version, or that it will meet your legal, tax, or accounting requirements, or that defects will be corrected.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits anything that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, including your mandatory consumer rights under the law of your country of residence. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain warranty exclusions, so some of the above may not apply to you.
15. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law:
We will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, goodwill, business, data, or anticipated savings, however arising, even if advised of the possibility.
Our total aggregate liability for all claims relating to the Service will not exceed the greater of (a) the total amount you paid for the Service in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) GBP 50 (or local equivalent).
We are not liable for matters outside our reasonable control, including the acts or omissions of Apple, your payment provider, the exchange-rate data source, your email/SMS apps, your network, or your device; for your data loss where you did not keep backups; or for your or a client’s failure to comply with law.
Carve-outs. Nothing in these Terms limits liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or any liability that cannot be limited or excluded under applicable law (including non-waivable consumer-protection rights). Where a jurisdiction does not allow some of these limitations, our liability is limited to the least amount permitted by law.
16. Indemnity
To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless SoloDock (and its successors) from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and reasonable expenses (including legal fees) arising from or related to: (a) your use or misuse of the Service; (b) your breach of these Terms or of any law; (c) your invoices, tax, and business conduct; (d) your handling of your clients’ data or claims by your clients; and (e) your payment arrangements with your provider or clients. This Section does not apply to the extent a loss is caused by our own breach or unlawful act, or where the indemnity is not permitted by applicable consumer law.
17. Intellectual property
The Service, including the SoloDock name, logo, designs, text, templates, and software, is owned by us or our licensors and protected by intellectual-property laws to the extent such protection is available. We do not currently hold a registered trademark for “SoloDock” in any jurisdiction, and other unrelated businesses may also use this or a similar name; nothing in these Terms represents that “SoloDock” is a registered or exclusively-owned mark. These Terms grant you a licence to use the App, not any ownership. You retain ownership of your own content (your business data, logo, and the documents you create). If you send us feedback or suggestions, you grant us a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free licence to use them without obligation to you. You may not use our trade dress, logo, or branding without our prior written permission.
18. Governing law and dispute resolution
These Terms are governed by the laws of India, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules, and the courts at Pune, India will have jurisdiction — except that:
if you are a consumer, you also benefit from any mandatory provisions of the consumer-protection law of your country of habitual residence, and nothing here deprives you of the protection of those mandatory rules or of your right to bring proceedings in your local courts where the law gives you that right (this is particularly relevant for consumers in the UK, EEA, and similar jurisdictions); and
nothing in this Section overrides any non-waivable right you have under local law.
Informal resolution first. Before starting formal proceedings, please contact us at architpsuryawanshi@gmail.com so we can try to resolve the matter; we will try in good faith to do the same. Many issues can be resolved quickly this way.
19. Suspension and termination
You may stop using the Service at any time by cancelling your subscription (via Apple) and/or uninstalling the App. We may suspend or terminate your licence and access if you materially breach these Terms, use the Service unlawfully, or where required by law or by Apple. On termination, the licence in Section 3 ends and you must stop using the App; your on-device data remains yours on your device and you can still export it (subject to the App’s then-current functionality). Sections that by their nature should survive (including 8–18 and 20) survive termination.
20. General
Changes to these Terms. We may update these Terms to reflect changes in the Service or the law. We will update the “Last updated” date and, for material changes, give more prominent notice where appropriate. Continued use after an update means you accept the revised Terms, to the extent permitted by law; if you do not agree, stop using the Service.
Force majeure. We are not liable for delay or failure to perform due to events beyond our reasonable control (e.g. acts of God, outages, third-party platform failures, strikes, or government action).
Severability. If any provision is held invalid or unenforceable, the rest remains in effect and the provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable.
No waiver. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it.
Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our consent. We may assign them to a successor (e.g. in a sale or transfer of the Service), subject to the Privacy Policy.
Entire agreement. These Terms, the Privacy Policy, and the App Store terms are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service and supersede prior agreements on the subject.
Third-party beneficiaries. Except for Apple (Section 4.9), there are no third-party beneficiaries.
Notices. We may give notice in the App, on the Site, or by email; you contact us using the details in Section 21.
Language. These Terms are written in English; any translation is for convenience, and the English version governs to the extent permitted by law.
